Shamayin, meaning sky or heavens in Hebrew, is a work for SSAATTBB. It is a choir-only arrangement of movement four of Speak to the Earth, a work for choir and electronics commissioned by consortium vocale berlin and premiered in June 2024.

 

The text written by the composer; the birds found in the text can all be found in the Bible. 

 
Birds of the air, we seek the sky
The swallow fair and dove divine
Even the thrush and stork of white
We seek the light of heaven
Hashamayin
The swift and sparrow know the way
By night we pass into the grey
Hashamayin
